12. Verify the installation by entering the command pkginfo -l | grep

NAVI*

.

Depending on what you installed, some of the following may be
displayed:
Š NAVIAGENT: Navisphere Disk Array Management Tool

(Agent)

Š NAVICLI: Navisphere Disk Array Management Tool (CLI)
Š NAVISCLI: Navisphere Disk Array Management Tool (CLI)

13. If you have a multihomed host (multiple NIC cards installed on

the host), create an agentID.txt file to ensure that the agent finds
the correct NIC card.

Note

: A multihomed host machine has multiple IP addresses connected to

networks; it is physically connected to multiple data links that can be on the
same or different networks. When you install Navisphere Host Agent on a
multihomed host, the host agent, by default, binds to the first NIC in the
host. If your host is multihomed, for the host agent to successfully register
with the desired CLARiiON storage system, you need to configure the host
agent to bind to a specific NIC. You do this by setting up an agentID.txt file.

a. Using a text editor that does not add special formatting, create

or edit a file named agentID.txt (case sensitive) in either / (root)
or in a directory of your choice.

b. Add the following two separate lines to the agentID.txt file,

with no special formatting:

First line:

Fullyqualified hostname of the host

Second line:

IP address of the HBA/NIC port that you

want Navisphere agent to use

For example, if your host is named host28 on the domain
mydomain.com

and your host contains two HBAs/NICs,

HBA1/NIC1 with IP address 192.111.222.2 and HBA2/NIC2
with IP address 192.111.222.3, and you want the host agent to
use NIC 2, you would configure agentID.txt as follows:

host28.mydomain.com
